Paulene Redding, president of the New Holland Farmers Day Association, is happy to see different parts of the community working together to get ready for this year’s New Holland Fair. “So many aspects come together to make the fair possible,” said Redding, who recently met with representatives of the borough, fire company, fire police, and ambulance company in preparation for the event. “The IU13 students from ELANCO cleaned up (the parade route) following the parade (in 2023), and the New Holland Kiwanis always cleans up (the streets) following the fair,” she said.
The 2024 New Holland Fair will be held from Wednesday, Oct. 2, through Saturday, Oct. 5, on Main Street, Roberts Avenue, Franklin Street, as well as on Fulton Street, where the animal exhibits are located. The fair will kick off on Oct. 2 with the parade,
which will begin at 7 p.m. As in the past, the fair will feature a midway, exhibits in a range of categories, a Long John eating contest, pet and baby parades, games, a variety of food vendors, and entertainment Thursday through Saturday evenings.
Area residents wishing to enter an item to exhibit in the fair for the first time will need to register for an entry number. Past exhibitors who did not receive a number in the mail must register as well. Registration for entry numbers will be held at the CrossNet Youth Center, 110 W. Franklin St., New Holland, on Tuesday, Oct. 1, from 2 to 8 p.m. Redding asked area residents to take a “fresh look” at this year’s exhibit categories. “There are some new opportunities,” she said.
Redding, who organizes the parade, said that all premium spots are full this year, and that the $12,000 raised by that effort will aid in funding the elevator that will be installed

On Aug. 19, Freedom Thrift in New Holland, a store that supports the work of Revelations of Freedom Ministries (ROFM), held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the enterprise.

anniversary was a wonderful occasion to connect with the community, raise awareness of Freedom Thrift and ROFM, and celebrate the contributions of everyone involved, from program students to our dedicated longterm supporters.”
Carr mentioned that not only does the thrift store raise funds for ROFM, it also benefits those enrolled in the program. ROFM serves men struggling with addictions, called students, in a 10-month residential program.

Freedom Thrift from
“The students work in the thrift store as part of our Life Skills Program (LSP),” explained Abbey Ginder, development coordinator with ROFM. “The goal is to teach them to be productive in the workplace and to use their earnings to bless others.” According to Ginder, job skills students gain during LSP are added to the students’ job applications and resumes when they complete the program. Pay that students earn while working at the store is invested in a checking or savings account with the goal of increasing self-sufficiency. “According to our staff, working (at the store) gives (students) a sense of value in a time when they come to us after hitting rock bottom,” stated Ginder. “They learn they can achieve something and provide for themselves, (so) it allows them to actively take part in their recovery process.”
Ginder added that the work teaches responsibility, punctuality, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. “But most importantly, it gives them self-respect,” she said.

tions at 114 Ranck Church Road, New Holland, and 2853 Lincoln Highway East, Ronks. Both stores provide funds to the ministry’s overall budget, but it does not stop there. “(Funds raised by the stores) allow us to provide the program and counseling for the students,” stated Carr. “(Students) receive additional services because of Freedom Thrift,” he added, noting that life coaches for the students and an expanded ROFM staff have been made possible by store funds.
According to Ginder, the ministry currently serves nine students. “Our small size allows us to give individual attention to our
students,” explained Ginder, who noted that in 2023, 40 students participated, with nine graduating from the program. Another two students graduated in 2024, and a third was due to complete the program in September.
Freedom Thrift stores are open Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Donations are welcome during those hours, and volunteers are needed. Information about both the stores and the ministry may be found at www.rofm.org.

for Lunch” by Lois Ehlert. The book is about a house cat who escapes his home and meets a variety of birds. The subject of wild birds coincided with the theme of the preschoolers’ visit to GSV.

When Thompson finished, the children turned around to face Patricia Simmeth, who read a story based on the biblical parable of the lost coin. “My story is from the Bible, so it’s really God’s story,” Simmeth told the children. When the story ended, Simmeth read from the Book of Luke, saying, “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
When Simmeth finished, Marcia Parsons, resident life experience director with GSV, who oversees the program, divided the children into two groups. While one group moved throughout Fallcrest on a scavenger hunt looking for photos of different types of birds, the other group stayed with the resident circle and tossed rings onto plastic ducks set up on the floor. The children took turns with the residents by picking up the rings and bringing them to residents to toss again. When the groups switched, children sat with residents at tables and used watercolor paints to color in line drawings of birds.
The regular visits by children who attend NHELC began some time after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted and it was deemed safe for the generations to connect. Prior to that, going back about eight years, according to Jen
Morales, assistant director with NHELC, a few seniors from GSV were visiting NHELC. “It seemed there could be more involvement if we took the kids to GSV,” recalled Morales, who said an NHELC kindergarten class had traveled to GSV monthly at one point.
“Transportation became a problem,” Morales stated, adding “GSV was kind enough to purchase car seats and provide transportation to help make the visits a reality. Morales credits Parsons for facilitating the connection between the generations when Parsons moved into her position.
Parsons explained that biweekly visits by NHELC students began in January of 2023 and became weekly in September of that year.
She noted that GSV residents who participated in the Aug. 1 visit included independent living and Day Break adult day services participants. “We alternate meeting locations to connect as many persons as possible (with the children),” she pointed out. About 100 area children receive services from NHELC, a ministry of New Holland Mennonite Church. More information about the organization may be found at www.newho llandmc.org.
GSV is a continuing care retirement facility, located on 220 acres in New Holland. More information about the many services the organization offers to those age 55 and over may be found at www.garden spotvillage.org.

This year’s competition will be held on Monday, Sept. 30. Redding said that a video promoting the competition and featuring former winners Kendell Moats and Ryleigh Libell may be viewed at the “New Holland Fair” Facebook page. The fair queen competition will be sponsored by New Holland Auto Group this year.
The tug-of-war competition, which returned in 2023, will take place at its original location at the corner of Franklin Street and Railroad Avenue.
Redding encouraged area residents to get involved in the yearly event. All farm show volunteers are invited to attend the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs convention in Hershey from Wednesday, Jan. 22, through Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025.

Those who choose to display their vehicles at the
upcoming show will be asked to make a registration donation. Registration will take place on the day of the show. There will be no admission fee for spectators, but the club asks that all guests bring nonperishable food items for the Honey Brook Food Pantry (HBFP).
Event organizers are hoping to attract at least 100 cars. “The last couple of shows have been in the high 80s. We are getting close to 100 (vehicles),” said club member Ray Marvin, adding, “When the participants are leaving, they will get a bag of chips and a drink. It’s our way of saying thanks.”
Food and ice cream will be offered for sale throughout the day, and a DJ will play oldies music. There will also be a gift basket auction. “We have 16 to 18 baskets,” said Marvin, noting that baskets generally include a car wash bucket, a flower arrangement and a basket filled with chocolate.
Membership forms and
packets of information about the club will be available at the car show for prospective members.
According to a history of the club provided by Frank Hess, treasurer, the club was originally called the Draggin’ Wagons Hot Rod Club. It was formed in 1957 by a group of young men and women from Honey Brook and surrounding towns. Walter “Packy” Deck was the president, and members included Dottie Deck, Jim Fagan, Bob Filmore, Bev Kemper, Lyn Kemper, Mabel Delp Reese, Allen Sampson and Paul Weaver.
The original Draggin’ Wagons Hot Rod Club held its own public dances at the Honey Brook Fire Company hall with live bands such as Jammie Brown, Speedy Boyer and the Rocketones, Butch Mohl and the Galaxies and others.
In 2008, the Draggin’ Wagons Car Club was reorganized and renamed

by a group of the original members and many new car enthusiasts.
The car club holds two annual shows - one in the spring and another in the fall. This year marks the third time the club is holding the fall event at Honeybrook Gardens, which was formerly the Honey Brook Elementary School. Past car shows were held at Kemper Equipment in Honey Brook.
The club has more than 60 members. Club meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Honey Brook Lions Club, with the exception of December, when the club holds its annual holiday dinner. At the March meeting, the club members nominate and vote on the nonprofit organizations that they will support in the coming year.
During the Christmas holiday season, the club “adopts” several families in the area; the family names are provided by Steeple to People Ministries. The club purchases toys, clothing and gift cards and provides a holiday dinner to each of the families.
“We help around 15 children (representing) three to five families. We get stuff for the kids and the parents and all the fixings of a turkey dinner. All of that is delivered,” Marvin said, adding that the club also makes donations to the HBFP. Marvin, who owns several classic cars, including a 1954 Ford convertible and a 1931 Ford street rod, describes the club as social and charitable. For example, the group regularly takes part in outings such as dinners at local eateries. “(The club) was founded by car enthusiasts, but there is a real focus on the social side,” said Marvin. “We have members that don’t even have (classic) cars. It’s not a requirement. It’s people hanging out and having fun, and we give several thousand dollars a year to charities (in Chester, Berks and Lancaster counties).”
In the event of rain, the car show will be held on Monday, Sept. 30, beginning at 5 p.m. Cancellation information will be posted on the club’s Facebook page on the morning of Sept. 28.
